Yes, runs were made @ Bristol Dragway. Not really known for blistering fast times. We have a Viper we run, which is supercharged that we took to Atco earlier this year and picked up .5 second from what we were running here. I didnt have too much time to play with it, was busy with about 5 cars all night and had no play time. Hope to get some better conditions soon

Both the pepper and the E55 sounded great, if there is no drone on the highway, I may have to look into that.

How does the straight-pipe setup not drone and thunder like a ***** on the freeway? Scares me to think about trying it; seems like it takes a comfortable car and turns it into a loud & expensive Mustang/Camaro-sounding vehicle. ..if that's what you're going for, then right on.

I have straight pipes and it does drone a bit at highway cruising speed (between about 1800-2000 RPM) but I do bugger all highway driving so it never bothers me. Personally if you do a lot of highway driving I wouldnt recommend it.

Sounds badass rest of the time.
